The Indian Scout Bobber takes its design inspiration from its elder Scout cousins. The body work is minimalistic that offer a raw and rugged look, hence doing justice with the ‘Bobber’ nomenclature. The motorcycle has been assisted with chopped-off front and rear fenders and comes drenched in an all black theme that lend a sporty and premium appeal. The Scout Bobber is clearly the most mean-looking motorcycle from the company’s line up till date. Our sources close to the development have revealed us that the 2018 Indian Scout Bobber will be launched in India at a starting price of Rs 13.09 lakh (ex-showroom, Ahmedabad).
